Or, does the cop go to court and testify to the result of the test? I hope the device records the result.

. . . to some momentary glitch in the officer's thought processes. That sort of thing can happen to anybody. But the problem, it seems to me, is that the officer is so antagonistic to anything the driver might have to say that anything the driver does say (other than "Yes-sir&quot is immediately construed as being argumentative or uncooperative,. And this cop couldn't step outside of his own narrative for even the instant it would have taken to consider what the driver was telling him, and to realize the driver was correct. That's a shame. The cop would have saved himself a lot of embarrassment before a judge (and likely no small amount of mockery back at the precinct house as well). Once again, it is, I think, police culture that is the real culprit here.

Though fortunately for us their abuses are getting more notice.

Perhaps cell cameras finally have an answer to "who watches the watchmen?"
